AN. Hey, I'm Ella! This is my very first story on FanFiction so please go easy on me! I just wanted to try out a little bit of Mike/Sulley, and Mike/Randy. I just really love Mike, and I want more people to love Mike, so I wanted to write this story, because when I look up fanfictions, Mike doesn't seem as popular as Sulley and Randall, and I find that sad because Mike is my favorite character. Anyhoo, I really hope you enjoy!

His name was Mike. Everyone else knew he was hopeless. Everyone else knew he could never be a scarer. Everyone knew Mike Wazowski was the smartest boy at Monsters University, but everyone knew he could never succeed. It hurt some, more than others. Because they saw the intelligence in him. They saw his bright smile, and his big plans for his future, but they knew Mike wasn't there. He just wasn't scary. He never would be scary. People bullied him, but he didn't care. People made fun of him, they stole his things, they told him he'd never be a scarer, but he kept his head high. He thought he could do it. He believed in himself, maybe a little to much. He wasn't scary, no matter how much the people around him wanted him to be, even though they showed it in very strange ways. There were two who cared, but couldn't show it. There were two who adored him. There were two who would do anything to help him, but they were both scared, one more than the other. But Mike couldn't see it. He didn't notice the two pairs of eyes that followed him in the hall. He never noticed the way they got a bit nervous when they talked to him. And he really never noticed the pain in each of their eyes. Because, Mike couldn't realize that he wasn't scary, and they could.
One of these people were Randall Boggs, or more commonly known as "Randy." But Randy was so scared of what he felt. He thought it was to strange for him. He was terrified. He didn't know how to react to this, so he pushed himself away. He pushed himself into the group that made fun of Mike, who didn't respect him, and made him feel horrible when they could. Randy became ruder to Mike. He even helped make Mike's team look like fools. He didn't know what else to do. How could he live with himself when he liked another guy? Another guy who his family would hate. They'd hate him. He came from a family who didn't support gay rights, so Randy did what he had to do. Or what he thought was right. He ignored his feelings for Mike, and buried them away. Spat on them. He couldn't feel that way. And he would hate Mike until he dies. Wazowski wasn't his friend. Wazowski was the reason to all his problems. But he still hated seeing the pain in Mike's eyes. He hated watching Mike get pushed aside when Randy wasn't the one doing it. He hated watching Mike fail.
The other one who fancied Mike Wazowski was James P. Sullivan. It started out as loathing. Well, really it started out when he met Mike the first time in Mike's Dorm room when he didn't loath him, he just didn't really respect him. Mike was the one who loathed him. When James saw him the first time, the first thought wasn't "Where's Archie?" it was "Huh, kinda cute." That thought never really went away, but he ignored it when Mike and he were kicked out of the Scaring Program. He got so mad at him. He loathed him so much. But while he loathed him, his emotions for Mike began to grow. He enjoyed following Mike around, but didn't know why. James just assumed that it was because he liked trying to make Mike feel bad for something he knew was both their faults, but that wasn't the case. James just liked being around him. Once he and Mike both joined O.K., the feelings began to grow. He may not have shown it very well, but they were there. He had just a simple, mostly minor crush on Mike before he took them to Monsters Inc. Than James' feelings began to grow. It was inspiring, and he decided that it wouldn't be to horrible if they worked together. But those feelings grew even more, to the point where it did hurt when he saw Mike's eye filled with pain. It hurt James a lot. He didn't like it when people picked on Mike, even if he hadn't decided if he were going to stop, himself. James didn't know why he cared. He didn't see what was so important about Mike. But there was a certain charm about Mike.
And so, the two boys hated each other for more reasons than one. They both knew that the other cared for Mike, and both of them wanted the other to stop. Randy was there first, but James hadn't turned his back on Mike once they became friends.
But Mike never knew that there were two boys who cared for him so. He never noticed that both of the boys would do anything for him. He never saw the lingering stares in the hallways. He never heard the screaming inside James and Randy's heads for him when he passed them in the hall. Even though he and James moved into an apartment together, spent every waking moment together, had all the best memories with each other, Mike would never know how James felt. And he really never noticed how infuriated Randy and James were when he started dating Celia. But Mike when in his own little scarer world. Mike is a dreamer. But he doesn't just dream about being a scarer. No. If the two boys would just open their eyes a little wider, they'd see that Mike might be more willing to be with one of them than they thought.

AN. So there you have it! Please send me prompts and I'll write a story for you! I am comfortable with any Mike pairing, except for him and Boo or him and Roz. I also like Randall pairings, but just as long as it isn't with Boo, I can write any Randall pairing. Their are a few Sulley pairings I'm not to fond of, but it is okay. Anyway, please send me prompts so I can write more your ideas, and make more stories!
